Crow beads are a staple in Native American jewelry, ceremonial clothing, and many other adornments. Crow beads are larger than many other types of glass beads, they also tend to have larger holes. Modern crow beads are Czech glass beads from Preciosa® known as a "rollers". They are far more uniform than older style crow beads, and they come in a huge assortment of colors and finishes, some are even faceted!
